Tigers in Service and the American Democracy Project at Fort Hays State University are hosting a Veterans Day celebration at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Memorial Rose Garden behind Picken Hall on the FHSU campus.

"We want to commemorate veterans and other military personnel who have served or are serving our country," said Amanda Herrmann, Maize sophomore and organizer of the event.

The organizers are including disabled veterans, a trumpeter playing "Taps," area Boy Scouts and patriotic singers. A wreath will be placed near the Memorial Rose Garden and dedicated to current and former service members.
